   CrashPlan 3.6.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Code 42 Software has released [1]CrashPlan 3.6.3 with a simplified
   installation process thanks to the inclusion of Java Runtime
   Environment (version 1.7.0_45) when installing on Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion
   and later (previously, you were prompted to install Java separately).
   If you want to switch from using the system version of Java to the one
   included with CrashPlan, you'll need to uninstall and then reinstall
   CrashPlan. The update also increases the Java heap space allocation to
   1024 MB for better performance, ensures that network interface
   exclusions and wireless network exclusions are properly obeyed,
   provides more control over CrashPlan's unlimited version retention,
   enables those who utilize the 448-bit encryption + password security
   scheme to set a challenge question and answer, and updates
   translations. There's no need to download CrashPlan 3.6.3 manually, as
   the app will automatically upgrade on its own in the coming days (if it
   hasn't already). (Free with a 30-day trial of CrashPla's online backup
   service, 50 MB, [2]release notes)
